“Disregard any figure you find making the rounds on social media” NYSC says in regards to minimum wage increment.

The National Youth Service Corp, NYSC has asked corp members to disregard the rumors that the federal government has increased their allowance from 19,800 to 31,800 as it is a fake news.

A Deputy Director at the NYSC headquarters Abuja, Eddy Megwa, said the Scheme is yet to be informed by the Federal Government of any increases in the stipends of serving corps members.

According to him, if the Federal government which pays corpers directly were to increase the allowance, it wouldn’t notify the scheme.

“The NYSC does not pay corps members any sum of money directly as stipends but the federal government does. “Until the government is ready to implement the N30,000 minimum wage, we cannot say what corps members will earn for their service to the nation.

“Disregard any figure you find making the rounds on social media. When the federal government is ready, it will inform NYSC and we will announce it to corps members through official channels.”
